Live the Life

"Whoever claims to live in him must walk as Jesus did." 1 John 2:6

Over the summation of my summer, the one thing I have come to realize is that Christinity is not a belief. It's an action. It's taking what you believe about Christ and putting it into practice; sharing his love with the world around us. Faith is not by works, but love does not merely consist of words or feelings in our hearts. Love is proven by the actions we take and the words we speak.

Claiming to love someone is not the same as showing love to that person. Claiming to love Jesus, is not the same as showing our love for Jesus. Basing faith on going to church and proclaiming God through worship services is not what Christ has called us to do. As a Christian I am to be a living example of Christ.

God is Here Today

By His love and grace Christ has rescued me from the depths of sin and given me the ability to be one of his followers

This is love: not that we loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son as an atoning sacrifice for our sins. 1 John 4:10

Jesus Christ is a real man that walked upon this earth, who is the Son of God, and died and rose again for our sins. He existed and continues to exist today. This has been displayed by God through the overwhelming evidence of Christ in the Bible and other sources. Four Gospels written by four different authors convey a single message without fault: the life of the Messiah and His victory over sin. He healed the sick, raised the dead, forgave sins, and did an uncountable number of other things. The Gospels not only agree with each other, they agree with the prophecy of the Old Testament. Our Bible is not the only reference of Him. There have been numerous other historians that recorded Jesus as a great teacher who preformed unexplicable wonders.

Not only that, but Christ is here, He is visible in our time and generation. All we have to do is, like doubting Thomas, look for this evidence of our Lord Jesus.
